Converted the 7 port van from saggin old rubber to Minitastic fast road coils today! Thanks to Richard for delivering from the uk then assisting instalation.

More than happy with the results... less body roll than I was expecting and just soaks up the bumps. No more shakin' my bones. ........Image

Much more acceptable ride height and no bottoming out! Well wort it.....

Hi SuperCooper, any updates on the Minitastic springs. I am just about to order a set with Gaz shockers, and would like to know if you think they are as good as all the things you read about them.

Yep great....after the gloggin they took on the Rylstone run thry are the same height. More comfortable than rubber cone, and handle very well. When pushed hard there is a little more body roll than rubber but its not excessive and means tyres are on the road. No springs popped out at all if set up properly. Very happy with the set up of the minitastic fasy road springs...

I meant to ask you how they went Leigh... The car looked good from behind anyway :)
